“A creative roguelike with interesting mechanics.”
“At its core, the game seems to be about puzzling out the various systems, enemies, story, and mechanics, and that's done well.”
“I've encountered a weapon that leaves water puddles when it's done with enemies, hover boots that put you over specific elemental floor hazards, and a necklace that gives great heaping gobs of luck and prevents a couple zones' worth of status ailments, but creates hell on your buff timers through an interesting corruption mechanic if you stand in liquid.”
